[Atrix 4G General] mads77:
First time Android/Atrix user and I have these questions. I intend to use the Atrix in a similar manner as a Jaibroken and unlocked iPhone.

So once i get the atrix I should -

1) Root it. For this I see two methods atleast online. Which one is preferred?

2) Have the ability to sideload apps.

3) How do I optimize it? Is there a standard list to follow. I couldnt find anything with a simple search. I really dont care for the visual appeal, just want speed, battery life and functionality of all apps.

4) I read something about deodex, is this something needed? Is this part of step 3?

5) Unlock if needed.

Does this also mean that for every new release of Android, the above steps need to be repeated?

Thanks

Ok I found the right section where the guide is posted. Sorry to have wasted ur time.........

thanks!
[XPERIA X8 General] :
With new phones such as the XPERIA PLAY, PRO AND ARC being released is it possible that XDA developers are planning to let go?

The X8 will not be able to sport optimal performance on upcoming android os, i can see the end coming?

i am sure that the development of j's rom will be done and racht will still produce some roms with j's rom and cynagonmod 7 but what after that?

is the x8 just going to be abandoned?

What is the future of the X8 with these new SE handsets arriving and many more better handsets?

even the x10 received the update and its bootloader was cracked

:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

Sony Ericsson dumped us, our only hope lies with racht, jerpelea and nobodyatall. If they leave then that's it, X8 is finished.
[XPERIA X8 General] DarkThanos:
Programmers built android, programmers are develop it to next versions.

What makes you think that xda programmers cant develop them too?

...The problem is that they are paid and do their job, but xda programmers give us their free time for free to develop it , not to mention that they are alone...

The problem is not what is going to happend if our phone cant support next android version, the problem is how long can xda programmers spent their time for us , they have a life too.

PS: se dont give as updates why are you so crazy for next versions...

Just stop thinking about such things untill you see a rom custom by ratch that x8 can run.

2 year ago I wanted more and more from a dev of an firefox add on... 1 year ago I start developing my own add on with a friend... Everyone can programm but you has to try first.
[G Tablet General] thomaslee086:
Hi all, I'm one of the "new to the gtablet world thaks to Woot" crew. First, thanks for what you all do here, it's a great resource.

I've managed to install the TnT Lite v4.3.0 wthout any problems and everything seems to be running well. My question is, when i hit the power button on the side, it shuts the tablet down and to turn it back on i have to hold the power button down and it has to go through the entire boot process.

Maybe thats what it is suppose to do, but being used to my iphone i imaged it would just turn off the screen and hn bring back up the lock screeen whn it was pushed again. Am i wrong or did i do something wrong when installing? Is it a setting change?

I know this question may be dumb, I'm not as tech-ignorant as this post may make it seem.

Thanks again.
[G Tablet General] MSU_Sparty:
A long press on the Power button should power it up. Once it's gone through the full boot cycle, a short press on the Power button should put it into sleep mode. When in sleep mode, another short press should bring it back to wake mode. A long press on Power while the gTab is fully awake should bring up a dialog box that asks what you want to do, go into Airplane Mode, Shutdown, etc. If you choose shutdown, you'll get another dialog box that asks you to confirm with a yes/no.

I am using the Stock Enhancement so maybe it works differently from yours but mine has functioned this way consistently from the time I got it, even before I loaded the Stock Enhancement.
[G Tablet General] tyy10002:
did you try to press the "power" button lightly. when you press it lightly, it should just turn off the screen. If you press the power button and hold it for a sec, you should see a popup choice (shutdown, sleep, air mode, etc). I agree that the power button is a little sensitive to me as well and I have been using mine for 3 months and it is getting a little bit "wear".

So, it is just my solution, and it may or may not work for you. Since you are running tnt lite (not working on Vegan rom). You can download an app from android market called "Tap Tap App" power button (free)

https://market.android.com/details?id=net.maicas.android.wsleep&feature=search_result

and it will place a icon to your screen or notification bar. It basically turns off your screen, and you can press the volume buttons to turn the screen back on. I have been using this solution for a month now, and have no issues so far.
[G Tablet General] thomaslee086:
I'm pushing the button very lightly, and it appears to shut the machine down, or makes it unesponsive. Then I have to hold it down for quite a while to get it to do anything, which makes the machine reboot. When i hold down the botton (when the machine is on) I do get the options, and can put it ito sleep mode that way, and then a light touch will turn it back on. But obviously this is not the way it is suppose to run.

Is there a way to reinstall TnT or shoul i try one of the other ROMS?
[G Tablet General] Wall_Fodder:
Actually I think that is a problem with 4.30. If you install clemsyn's kernel it should fix it. Pershoot's may work too but I only tried clemsyn's.
[G Tablet General] tyy10002:
It sounds like a sleep-wake issue. Like wall_fodder said, you can try to install Clemsyn or pershoot kernel. before you do install the kernel or reflash it, make a backup through clockworkmod and use titanium to backup your apps and data.

I am using 4.2.5 and very stable. Yes, you can reflash it with 4.2.x or vegan 5.1 through clockworkmod.
[G Tablet General] thomaslee086:
thanks, is there a step by step on this someplace?
[G Tablet General] thomaslee086:
hey all, thanks again, i restarted it in recovery mode and now everything works fine, nothing new installed or changed. Thanks so much...
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I heard mixed results about 4.3.0 and sleep. For me, it works (as well as others). But some have reported issues. I'm not sure why that is -- maybe a data wipe is needed?
[G Tablet General] thomaslee086:
fyi, the recover reboot only helped the sleep issue for about two presses of the sleep button. However, I installed the Clemsyn kernel through Clockwork Mod and now it works great (after several tests). I had installed tnt 4.3.0 and 4.3.1 directly without CWM. So installed CWM on top of tnt4.3.1 then installed Clemsyn. Probably not the correct way to do it, but everything is working right now.

Lots of hail marys from this newbie while i was doing it though.
[Defy General] mikeman8484:
hi guys,

I hope someone can help me.....

today I install some app to give extra animation and crap but after I ve done it the phone keeps restarting after I slide the srceen to unlock it.

I have done a hard reset formated the phone and cache and still the same,

I have also tried to flash it but RDS came back with " unable to retrieve info from INI file.

sim card is in but there is still "no service" on,

I ve looked through the forum but non of the posts seems to desrcibe my problem.

cheers,

p.s I forgot to add that my rom was 2.51 uk as far as I aware :)

regards,
[Defy General] amansth:
hi,

the 'unable to retrieve ini file' could be because of your usb ports.

however,

if you go to recovery mode( hold vol- during startup then vol+ and vol- simultaneously when you see a little green man) you should be able to get a menu which will let you do a factory reset( clear data) which should make the phone work.

cheers
[Defy General] mikeman8484:
hi,

yes and I ve done it twice already and still rebboting after unlocking the screen

ane other ideas??

I ve treid to dowload rom but it wont extract and the other one saying that about ini file.

cheers,
[Defy General] amansth:
hi again,

were you trying to install a flashlight fix zip btw before all this happened?

if so, the only option is a full flash.

try it with a different computer but i think at this moment rsdlite is the only hope.

i know because it has happened to me quite a lot.

cheers
[Defy General] mikeman8484:
hi,

I thinking the same, however, every rom I download doesnt work,

and now stupid question...where can I get a uk rom from??

cheers,
[Defy General] amansth:
just check the android development section for the defy,

there are plenty of choices for a uk rom.

download one and flash it with rsdlite from a computer with usb 2.0 .

thats the cause of the ini error apparently.

good luck.
[Defy General] mikeman8484:
hi,

any link please??

I ve not been lazy its just I dowloaded two already and none of them work,

and now even RSD wont find the phone...just great saturday hahaha

cheers,
[Defy General] amansth:

credit to fritolays.

go to the last link. CEE deblur< download that.

for rsdlite, keep trying, youll get there eventually.

thanks would be appreciated.

cheers
[Defy General] mikeman8484:
hi,

I will keep trying and if it wont help then I will have to go to t mobile and change my handset again,

Thanks a lot amansth :)

.....right guys please RSD saying couldnt retrieve values from INI file, I dont have access to any other PC so is thre any other way??

I ve got one txt file in the folder with firmware with this number in 09a6752e6119bb69c02d02f06a68d17e maybe that just need changing?? I dont want to mess about with it too much cos I m just a rookie ;)

thanks,

...... Hi guys,

After a 6 hour fight I finally managed to flash my phone and it works:), old RSD for some reason wouldnt support the phone so I got the new one and I could sleep much better :)

The only issue is that I liked 2.51, not necessarily the whole blur thing but I still think software looks much better and for example, mail box wont open, not the google one but the other that Ive added. Market place looks quite old compare to how it looked on 2.51, for eg the buttons for apps,games and apps look like big grey brick where in the other one there where nicely "implemented" into the market website.

however, I could not load 2.51 on my phone because it would stay on black screen with white LED on. I ve tried couple of times and always the same.

maybe I m doing something wrong?? what are those 2.51 boot only for?? I ve tried to put that in first then the firmware and still the same.

thanks all,
[Defy General] amansth:
hi,

sadly, downgrade to 2.51 isnt possible because you upgraded to the froyo roms, the bootloader is newer so it is impossible to go back.

still, the froyo roms are generally better but somehow they seem laggy sometimes.

hopefully since motorola is pushing beta builds and the actual froyo release will come out around april- may you wont have to stay with the blocky icons for long.
[Vibrant General] ndavis_28:
been having some problems with my phone lately and just wondered if anyone else has encountered these. first off it seems to stop playing any media files whatsoever. i have a bunch of music on it and the player just cycles through and says its not supported. youtube always brings up the error message that the video can not be played. i turn the phone off and on and it works after that but around 24 hours later i'm back to the same thing. also tried using kies to download the 2.2 update but that sucks and doesn't work. would like to root but have no idea where to begin and am afraid i'll screw the phone up. does anyone have an explanation as to what my problem can be and the best way to get 2.2 on this phone?
[Vibrant General] oka1:
1st things 1st, Go to the noob guide by S15274N in the Gen section. It has all the info you need. Read it..........

Here is basically what you will do:

Make sure you have the Samsung USB drivers loaded on your computer (found in the noob guide)

Download superonclick to Root the phone (on to the computer)

On the phone download rom manager (from the apps store)

Follow the directions from superoneclick (look at unlockcr.com good how to video)

After you root the phone then decide what to load as far as a custom ROM. I would Try the Trigger or Axura, they both very stable Download on to the computer

Then hook up the phone on to the computer Make sure you connect the usb

(the pulldown at the top) make usb debugging is clicked.

Load the rom on to the Internal sd card and then go to the Rom manager and click reboot into into recovery.. install it wait 15 mins to install and you are good to go

READ the NOOB guide it is complete this is just an outline.

good luck
[Vibrant General] ndavis_28:
well i'll give it a read and see if i have enough balls to do it. thanks
[Vibrant General] pmiller:
I'm having these same exact problams and it is very frustrating. Also the video recorder will stop working I found.

So you are using 2.1? I've gone up to 2.2 using kies. I can't remember when I went to 2.2, but my guess is this has been happening since then.

In the past week I've been on the phone way too long with Tmobile support. They say that they have never heard of this (apparently I'm not the only one though) and had me try a master reset. That didn't work and the only solution seems to be to reboot the phone. Am I the only one who thinks having to reboot within 24 hours is ridiculous?

So now that they have sent me 3 phones, they directed me to Samsung which wanted to try the same Master Reset. I know that will only temporarily fix the problem so the next step is to send the phone in. How is that suppose to work? Have no phone for a week.

I guess I could ask Tmobile to do it for me and give me a loaner, but I think it is time to go with a custom ROM.

So is anyone else having the problems we are having? We can't be the only two. Is the stock 2.2 just bad and I will be better served with a custom ROM?

I was hoping to avoid this, but the phone is pretty much crap to me now anyway, so I guess what can I lose?
[Vibrant General] shreddintyres:
IMO stock from samsung have never been very impressive especially when compared to all the custom roms out here. The simplest roms to flash will be the kb1 based roms such as Trigger, Axura or Bionix (in no particular order).

Your phone will feel completely different and you will likely gain a new found appreciation for it, so go flash a custom rom :)
[Vibrant General] pmiller:
Thanks for the advice. After reading through the steps and getting lost at only the 2nd step of rooting, I think I'll just stick to stock and deal with the problems.

Not ideal, but I'm just not in the mood to put that much into a phone anymore. Maybe I'm just lazy, but I'd like to have a program that will do all the steps of getting a new ROM on my device. I feel overwhelmed by having to maintain a ROM.
[Vibrant General] Abu-7abash:
Its not as hard as you think. Just use superoneclick to get root access, download rom manager , download the rom you want on your sd then reboot into recovery from root manager and chose your rom from the sd.

For those of you that have your Adam and have been playing with if for a while, at least on mine, I have noticed that there seems to be a hidden button on the top right of the device, along the trim at the top.

[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
We may (hopefully) see something done with the hardware of this phone in time for its launch.

Let's think about this:

-Sprint supposedly booked however many hours to their presentation at CTIA, but it really only lasted like 20 minutes?

-Sprint barely showed off the EVO 3D at their own presentation.

-It was shared with a bootleg tablet, the EVO View 4G.

-Not one mention of price, but availability was speculated to be around the summer, which could mean any month during the Summer timespan and even any month after that. I can recall Sprint's past on release speculation being somewhat inaccurate.

More points to note: (from the 26 minute hands-on video)

-Sprint rep on more than one occasion said the software development was earlier than you'd think.

-Task manager reported 110MB free and ~500MB total RAM. The EVO 3D supposedly has 1GB of RAM. You can see proof of this around the 18:40 mark.

What I think was, according to the 26 minute video that was posted by another member in the oval office thread, the Sprint rep said the software development was "earlier" than you'd think. Could this also mean the hardware was that early as well? Could it mean that this phone was kind of rushed out to meet CTIA when it really wasn't even ready for that?

I think Sprint quickly threw this phone out there, to get a general consensus and reaction from the people and they will take this reaction into consideration when finalizing the EVO 3D hardware. When compared to the GSM version (which was denied by HTC, but later made official), we're losing 3GB of ROM (from 4GB down to 1GB) according to Sprint specs. In fact, there are so many inconsistencies about what the EVO 3D will have, in pure speculation alone and what's posted on the Sprint/HTC websites. We may be working with a number of production units here. Also, in the 26 minute video when the Sprint rep was showing off the task manager, uhh I'm not sure if any of you noticed, but around 18:40, the free memory remaining was around 110 MB and the total memory available was somewhere in the 500MBs and if i'm not mistaken, that's horribly low in comparison to the supposed 1GB of RAM and pretty much on par with the current EVO.

This may be wishful thinking talking, but I don't think it's too far fetched to assume we may have a different phone when launched.

Remember how the original EVO 4G was spotted having a red speaker grill but production unit was changed to silver? Small difference but worth noting.

Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ynmqtopi9g&feature=player_embedded
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
I would think it would need some sort of built in memory if it is going to be recording 1080p video. That was the issue with the og Evo and 720p, the sd card it shipped with wasnt fast enough to keep up with it unless it was heavily compressed.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
first time I've seen this being shown anywhere. Speaking about hte RAM issue at hand shown in the video. Very odd that it had like 553MB shown in the taskmanager yet documents shown state it should have 1GB RAM.

Also the differing specs listedon HTC's site and Sprints site when it comes to ROM as HTC states 1GB while sprint states 4GB. Hopefully sprint is right with specs there.
[HTC EVO 3D] GuyPsy:
HTC removed the specifications page from the product page. Maybe that's a sign that it's not final. Maybe they're planning to make improvements and they want to keep it secret until the launch day. Couple of hours ago the specification page was still available, but now there is no link for that at the official page.
[HTC EVO 3D] popular nobody:
What's holding up the device is the software, not hardware. Specs wise, what you see is what you get. Changing hardware now in the game would give you a end of 3Q release. You're going to see more device testers in the wild soon, which is more software related than the other.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
True but hardware like the memory size is still very adjustible and given the differing reports for whats inside leaves lots of possibilities. ie sprint said 4GB ROM while HTC showed 1GB and also in the video above it only showed 533MB RAM while both HTC and sprint said there was 1GB on board.

Just very conflicting reports.
[HTC EVO 3D] fen_nyc:
freeza, you make a valid point. However, as you suggested, it's likely because the software running on the Evo 3D wasn't ready. Apart from the quantity of RAM for storage, I don't think the hardware will be significantly different from what was announced.

Yes, Sprint should have done more for the press, but they usually come through in the end.
[HTC EVO 3D] AyyRayy:
Lol that is weird. If you search for the evo 3d special page you can find it. But if you are on the HTC evo3d overview they took away the specs tab hah so who knows

Powered by Steve Jobs' Tears and Jealousy
[HTC EVO 3D] crabjoe:
Every time I see specs with 1gb of rom, it also says it's a GSM phone. When I see 4gb of rom, it says CDMA.

This makes me believe that there is a GSM version of the EVO 3D and the amount of rom will be less then Sprint's version....
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
Yeah it seems odd we have to wait and see.and about the GSM version I doubt it will be called Evo 3D since I believe Evo OS trademark by HTC and sprint together just like.the Evo view is the flyer, and at the end GSM will get 3D phones just like the desire HD was like an evo update it
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
sprint has zero to do with the trademark on EVO. HTC submits the paperwork and owns the rights. But its not Just EVO by itself its the full name of the phone "EVO 3D" "EVO 4G' "EVO View"
